Could Still Be

by Rican Chemistry   Dec 17, 2005


What could have been
What could probably still be
If you were still in my arms
If you were still with me

You took off
Went your separate way
Left me wondering what
We could have been if you had stayed

This little girl I now hold
Would had smiled at you
You would have been able to kiss her
And tell her I LOVE YOU

At the hospital upon arrival
You would have cut her free
If you were still by my side
If you were still with me

When she started crawling
You would have screamed with joy
But instead around this time
You were having your little boy

When she started to talk
You would have been teaching
That I was her mami
And you were her papi

When we went to the beach
To play around in the sand
It should have been you
Not my brother holding her hand

On her first birthday
It should have been YOU with the camera
YOU should have helped
Blow out the candles with her

Now she's two
And now you wish you were here
But now that you want to
You cant come for years

But at least you wish to see
Her first day of pre-school
You want her to say
"This is my dad, isn't he cool"

So we'll focus on
What could definitely be
If you ever decide
To come back to me

Now that he wants us back, he is in jail, and has to wait. Life is crazy like that!!!

    He definitely missed out. there's no retrieving those years back. Its nice that still has second chance but sometimes its too late.

    Beautiful! It's a very touch subject and you made a great poem out of it. I just hope that you think twice about taking him back into your life, make sure that he really wants you both in his life and that it's not just the loneliness of being in jail. I say this because 2 boyfriends ago I had an experience with my guy going to jail after we broke up, while he was locked up we got back together and he said he knew I was what he wanted now and that he was gonna change, but when he got out it all went back to the way it was before. Just be careful baby! I wish you and your little girl the best! It's not fair to her for him to do this to her.
